ok i have hooked up some flashing leds in my parking lights. they work fine on when the vehicle is off and off when it is running. i hooked the + lead to 12v constant and the - lead to accessory wire in steering column. i have a 2001 ford f150. the problem is that when i open the door the "dinger" goes off all the time (like the key is in the ignition or the lights are on). is there any way to fix this. i like the way its set up but dont like the dinging when the door is open.

thanks for the help

Sounds like you need a different source for power and ground for the LED's. When exactly do you want the LED's to be on? Do you want them to be on when the parking lights are on? Do you want them on with the car off and the key in the accessory position and off when running? Or some other way? Let us know.
